Januzaj will play for Belgium, says Wilmots

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has announced on his official Twitter account that Adnan Januzaj has committed his international future to the country.

Januzaj, 19, is also eligible for Kosovo and Albania. He was linked with an England although he would have had to wait until he qualified through residence.

Any possible eligibility for Croatia, Serbia or Turkey had been ruled out by his father earlier this year.

"I have received official confirmation that Adnan Januzaj has made himself available to the Belgian national team," Wilmots said.

The Manchester United starlet has, somewhat surprisingly, not represented any nation at youth level but he has now opted for the country of his birth. The player was born in Brussels to Kosovan and Albanian parents.

He could be selected in Belgium's 23-man squad for the World Cup finals even though he did not make himself available for any of their qualifiers.
